COLUMBIA, S. C. Wedneslay Morning, Ootb*rl4,1874? Senator Dunn'* Bona Disclosures. We regard with considerable interest the discussion npon the bonda whiob is going on between Senator Danu and Treasurer Oardozo. Mr. Dunn having made personal investigations, as Chair? man of a committee duly authorized to do so, among tbo bankers and brokers.of New York, as to the condi? tion of the bonded don't, the amount of bonds hypothecated, for what sums, and for bow much sold, and at What times, and as to all other particu? lars embraced in bis commission, iu June last made a report to tbo Trea? surer, alleging that he had discovered several irregularities in the issne of bonds. In the Treasurer's first artiole of the 8th instaut, ho states these irregularities as haviog been reported by Mr. Dana to be: That the bonds bad a limit fixed in the Acta which authorized their issao, and that they wore sold after the expiration of that limit, notwithstanding they had been hypothecated before it, and the State (by means of that hypothecation, we suppose,) had receivod the money au? thorized to be raised on thorn. Iu Se? nator Dunn's reply, he quotes from bis report to the Treasurer to show that bonds to the amount of about 81,250,dl!0 had been hypothecated to parties in New York, at periods after their limit had expired, ranging be? tween seven months aud nearly two years. In his rejoinder, of yesterday, the Treasurer re-states this part of the report of Mr. Dann, admittiag what he before denied, that one of the irregnlsrities, as reported to him, con? sisted in the hypothecation of the bonds after the expiration of the time to which their use was limited by the law. 3V. Dunn regaidsthe hypothecation Fbich he thus ulleges to have taken place, to have been in violation of law, na it was the use of the bonds out of lawful timo. Wo have beard him say that they are just as bad on this ac? count as the conversion bonds are bad for other reasons. Treasurer Oardozo now agrees with him that the use by hypothecation or otherwise of bonds after tbe time fixad in the Aots limiting their issne wonld be illegal. But be denies the faot which Mr. Dann al? leges that he ascertained on bis visit to New York, and treats the statement of it as an assumption. He does not, however, produce any evidence to sub? stantiate his own assertions, that Kimptou hypothecated these bonds a dozen times, both before and after tbo legal time, exoept the improbability that be and Parker oonld koep bonds in their post'ssion any considerable time without making use of them. That is improbable; bat whatever may have been the nhifts to which these men resorted by use of bonds in their hands, we have not the shadow of doubt that Seuator Dunn's state? ment of the faot of final unlawful hy? pothec it ion is entirely oorrcot. In faot, tbe Treasurer, nnconsoiously, perhaps, admits as much himself, when be sayn that Kimpton hypothecated them a dozen times after thoy wore le? gally dead. If that be true, it was a dozen times a violation of the law, and just as much and as gross a violation eaoh time as if the dozen times of hy? pothecation within the specified time had not taken pluce. Mr. Curdozo treats Mr. Dunn's tsatement as an assnmpiou, but at last hiaiBelf thus oonoedes it to bo faot, end in concoding it, admits the cor? rectness of his adversary's general conclusion, nod, in his own lunguuge, "if Mr. Dunu has really discovered that over a million of the bonds of South Carolina, besides tbo conversion bond?, have been illegally issued, then, indeed, it in a matter of very great pnblio importance." So fur us the discussion has udvauced, Seuutor Dunn has made good tbo fctatCLueuta of his report, and bbown a very dcoided prima facie evidence to exist that tbo conversion bonds have the company of others hardly Iosb frindulcnt. It will not do for tbo Treasurer of tbo State, to whom tboso disclosures woro promptly made, to treat tbura m "ridi ealouV' and "merely technical." They deeply ooncoru the interosts of t'.:c Stute, If the fact of uso of tbeso bonds by hypothecation, subsequent to tho leg il timo, bo or cm bo estab? lished, (*nd Mr. Ourdoz) admits it in a certain way himself,) then Senator Dunn is not only right in bis state? ments, but ho has dono tho State good service in unearthing another huge fraud. The other point ho makes is sqnal'.y important and equally confirm? atory of tho illegality of the bonds? namely, that "the fa!! amount of mo ney authorized, by law to be raised bad been already exceeded," uod the fur? ther Uh? of bond* wua ouly unlawful use of them to raise additional amountB for unlawful purposes. Treasurer Card?, zo shows tbe Btfaits ho is iu when be flippantly churucter izett this us a ".itnlem -nt that the money uuthorized to be raised ou the bonds hud been mused before tho bonds weio used," und "(hut tLo money to be obtained by the use of certain collaterals had been raised be? fore the colluteru's wore used." Cau not Mr. Card zo see that the dozou times hypotbecu'iou of toe bonds before the expiration of tho tweuly fonr months, during which they weio allowed to ruu uud bo usod, (is he ad? mits himself,} was use of bonds uuti use of collaterals? And that from such nnju8tiQable and illegal use, the sum allowed to be ruiaed by them lawfully, had been unlawfully raised, uud ex? ceeded, and was an exisliug fuel? If it was u fact, ami t.bero can bo no doubt of it, it must bo taken into con? sideration, and is a good secoud reason why tho use of the bouds was illegal. The money for which thoy wero issued having been raisod ou them, whether legally or illegally, there could be no pretext to use them any more, aud more especially after their time hud ran out. ? ??* + ? ? Election Prccincl?, Major Theo. G. Boag having been appointed one of tbe Commissioners of Election, has accepted the po? sition, upon uouditiou that a Con? servative be named by the Conser? vatives and appointed a manuger at each poll. Also, that u committee of threo of tbe Conservatives bo named in liku manner and appointed to act with the Commissioners in examining tho returns of mauagers, aud that the Commissioners, by timely notice, shall inform the citizens of the location of precincts ut which tbe election will be held. As pertinent to this matter, we di? rect utteutiou to lbo order of Judge Bryuu iu our to-day's issue, that Com? missioners of Election lor tho various Counties in the State shall furnish to his oourt a complete list of ull the voting prccitiots in their respective Counties, ou or before the 221 iustaut. Tho prospect for u fair election is im? proving. ?-. ? Mr, Editor: Speakiug of the wily Nash in your paper of 13th, you state that John T. Slouu, Jr., bus receivod the nomination for the L ??ialature, is popular with ull classes, uud possesses the full confidence of tho Convention. If you intend by this to convey the idea that Mr. S'oau will receive the support of all classes of the Conven? tion on the day of election, you will find yourself quite iu error. Mr. Slnuu may possess toe kiud feelings of the Convention, but will receive but small aid from them. He is not a representa? tive man, either as a representative of the Columbia bar or of the tax payers of the County. Tbo groat issue before tho public is, that their representa? tives shall be property holler-', and bear some of the burdens imposed on others. This ban been the burden of the complaint undo by the Committee of tho Tux-PayersConvootion at Wash? ington, and has received the hearty endorsement of the tax payers of tbe State and County. Tho puople of this County, or tit least the mechanics aud merchants of tlio city of Columbia, aro not disposed to beud tho kuou to the wily Nash, by accepting tbo crumb:; that fall from his table, aud giving him or his nominee support for tho Legislature. They suffer too much from tho odious license laws un? justly imposed on them by tho instru? mentality of the Senator for Richluud Comity, und will not como to his as? sistance iu his extremity. Minort uud Nush uro not tho representatives of the tux-payers of the County. They uro opposed to their best iutercsts, and deeply interested iu tho success of the Columbia ring; therefore, tho tax? payers uro iudilie,rent, us to whose funeral it may provo to be, and care not for tho aspirations of John T Sloan, Jr. TAX PA YE It An Okdek f? >m Judou Biiyan ? Judge Bryuu has issued tho following: United States of America, District of South Carolina, in the Circuit Court. In tho matter of B.

BUY AN, United States Judge. Gen. P, M. B. Young, membor of Congress, of Goorgia, and a membor of tho Military Committee of the House of Representatives, visited the fortifications of New York harbor, in oompauy with Generals W. S Uan oook, Gordon, Granger und Banard, and Professor Henry, of tho Smithso? nian In Carpel-Bag Chlcanary. It is manifest that the design of tbe Chattanooga Convention is to organise fur further political plunder, mainly upon tbe basis of tbe outrages which have been manuftictured to order. The following Washington letter from tbe Now York Sun discloses the schemes and fears -of the tcaivy set, who re eoguiz-. the necessity for ucw pretexts upou which to keep up North -rn oppo? sition to the South, und niuku tho peo? ple of the North look nwuy from the desolating spectacle of unsettled trade und the decay of ull industrial aud other iuterests iu the South. Hero is tho plan definitely tnutked out by which this disastrous ii.ttuuueu is sought to be perpetuated: Washington. October (3 ?During the past few days, i hero huvo bteu large udditious to the carpct-uug and scalawag politicians from tho South, who are hero for tho purposu of cou sultiug Northern republican leaders us to the policy to be observed at the Obuttauooga Convention. I obtained to-day, from a gcutlemnu in the couli dencu of John J. Patterson, Powell Cluytou aud Tom Settle, the reasons for holding this couventiou und the outlines of tho proposed policy. The carpel bug uud scalawag politi? cians contemplate with undisguised couoern their waning fortunes. They I recognize the fact that tbe masses of the Northern people are very generally becoming disgusted with the state of affairs in the South. Tho unsettled couditiou of society and of trade, uud the rapid demoraliz ttiou of ull the in? dustrial iuterests in the ooltou States, seriously uiTVet the busiuess iuterests iu the aottou States, seriously ullcct the business interests of tho North. The money market has beou giuttc-d with securities, Statu und corporate, issued by the ton, uuder tho uuuotion of carpet-bag legislation. The money realized on these securities has been divided among the official und private thibves who for years have been proy iug upon the Southern people. Scarce? ly oue dollar iu a hundred has been devoted to thu purposes for which it was ostensibly borrowed. Tho result is what prudent men predicted? wide spread bankruptcy und universal fail? ure to pay the interest failing due ou these securities. The rates of taxation iu the Cotton Stutes now exceed tbe iuterettt which France aud lviglaml pay ou their na? tional debts. Tn-j people aro so im? poverished that an) increase in taxa? tion will be practical confiscation of their property. Northern cupital that was invested in Southern railroads aud other legitimate enterprises is uure innuerative, because all tbe industries uro* destroyed or fatally crippled, through tho general disquiet und un? certainty that prevail. The capitalists thus injured are beginning to see that tbe carpet-bug uud scalawag politicians are responsible for ull theso evils. Tho moneyed men and tho moneyed insti? tutions of tho North being dissatisfied und disposed to favor a new order of things in the South, the carpet-bug gors tremble for their safety. Thoy kuow the in?ieuce these interests wield, uud heuee they seek to arouse anew the old prejudices of the North? um masses by stories of outrages by Southern rubeis. T?e tirht great object of the conven? tion at Chattanooga is to conuuet und send forth u batch of monstrous lies iu the hope that the waning passions and prejudices of tho Northern people will be thereby fanned to a white heat. The machinery which the Republican N itiouul Executive Committee and Liudaulet Williams have beou using to manufacture and disseminate lies has not proved sufficiently useful. This is owing principally to the fact that the press of tho North is no longer tho servile instrument of politicians The people have been educated by in? dependent jour mils to disregard the statements coming through the me? dium of the meu who rob tho national treasury to proudo their wives with 81,600 lautluulots The impartial man? ner iu which the New York Times ex? posed tho euormities of carpet-bag rule in South Carolina aud Louisiana terrified fellows liko Patterson, Spen? cer, Clayton and Packard. These let? ters, writteu by men who were in? structed, to tell nothing that was uot well authenticated, ooulirmod ull that hid ever beou printed iu tho Sun and other independent pupors about the misdeeds ot Republican thieves iu the South. Aud now for tho programme at Chattanooga. Pirst tho uttempt will bo mailu to alarm the Northern people by declaring that it is tbo avowed pur poso of the Southern rebels whenever tho Democratic patty is entrusted with power, to make tho Federal Govern? ment assume thu Confederate S'utes war debt, uud iu addition pay Southern olaimauts some 0200,000,000 for con? fiscated cotton. Tlien to ftighteu thu ignorant negroes it will bo gravely us sorted that it is the purpose of tho Southern whiten when ouco tho State governments arc iu their hinds to levy a poll tax of 825 or 8130 ou euch negro and sell those who fail to pay tbesimc; i, e , imprison them in the penitentiaries and hire them oul iu gang9 to planti is. To stir more deeply the masses of the North against tbo Southern white people it is to be solemnly asserted by "the representatives of tho Southern Republicans, in Convention assem? bled" that tho While Loiguu iu it so oret organization iutcudud to cultivate hostility to the Federal Government. The ultimate object of its members it will be declared, is ?the disuolutiun of the Union, ond the first step toward this goal is to get possession of thu State GoVcfuuiouie. All this might bo tersely expressed as follows: "If we? John J. Patterson, Powell Clayton, et id cnnna genus ? aro deprived of the right to plunder, oppress and despoil the Southern people, then we will de? stroy the Union." "Do you expect sensible people to believe this report of nonsense?" said my friend to John J. Patterson. ?'Certainly we do. Didn't you read yesterday's Republic? We huve got to make tho Northern people believe that tho old secessionists aro educating their children to bate (ho Uuiou. There ia no other way to k tep tho Re? publican party in power. There is no wtber policy ou which tho Republican party can b* uuited. Thorn uro bard money tncu and inililiouists in our ranks just as there arc in tho Demo? cratic party. They arc free trade ml vocatoi aud high turd! praters on butu sides, aud so ou through the winde catalogue of political Questions. Tuere i: ..o hope of carrying a national elec? tion ou uuy one or nil of tbe.io issues. There is only ouo groat questiou di? viding tho people mto purlins, and that in, shall we solidity tho results of the war into a strong central govern? ment that will give confidence ut home us well as abroad, or shall wo resurrect tho old rubel idea of State's rights, aud undo all that has been done during tho lust teu years? Tho opposition press daily charges us with corruption auJ knavery of every sort. They huve ull the influential papers in the coun? try, and will soou educate the people to believe that the Republican party is composed entirely of scoundrels, who uro hold together ouly by the coheuvu power of public plunder. They keep declaiming ubout carpet bug rule in the .Souin, aud insisting (but the Southern people hive the inalienable right to govern themselves. This sort ol doctriue is popular, und if wo don't do somethiug to oQ'tet it the Democrats will sweep everything iu lti7(i The Republioau leaders cunuol ullord to lose ull the Southern States. Their hold on tho Northern people is not very strong, aud tuke away this talk of 'Soutboru outrages' and 'new rebel? lion,' und tho Democrats would swamp us certain with thoir ojtcry abuut Credit Mobilier, salary steal, carpet bag rule, the Washington ring uud Saoborn contracts. "You Northern Republicans cannot afford to turn up the whites of your eyes uud Hlutke your heads over the doiugs of Republicans in South Curo liua aud Louisiana. What if tho Southern whites?the old rebel ele? ment?are impoverished and oppress cd? Have they uuy rights that We arc bouud to re*pec;? Haven't you your riugs iu Pennsylvania, Massachusetts aud Now York? Ttiero must be a oer taiu porceotaga of stealings iu uny go? vernment, and the people would never bo any the less happy ou this uccouut if it wasn't for tuu infernal newspa? per 3." "But dt? you believe that thia old story of the disloyalty of tho Sjuth-.-rti whites can be made available much longer?" "I don't know how much longer it will last, but I do know that whou it wears out wo are gone ulso. liot 1 honestly believe that there will bo little or no difficulty iu convincing tho masses, especially the rural popul itiou of the North, that tho White League is a disunion orgauizitiou. The Soutb? oru whites are such an imprudent set that tbey will talk in their old ante bellum style, and Soulhorn country editors will continue to write enzy editorials, it will bo as easy now u3 it over was to lire the Northern mind with these ravings ol fools uud luuatics." The foregoing is uo invention of my owu or of any other im.iginutive re? porter. Tho geutleman who detailed to me the substance of his talks with Patterson, Hays, Settle uud Clayton, is in every way trustworthy aud truth? ful, But it is not necessary to vouch for the accuracy of my Mend's repjrt of- his conversation with those on principled rogues.

Schenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed Touio, and Schenck's Man druke Pills, are tho ouly medicines that will euro Pulmonary Consump? tion. Frequently medicines that will stop u cough will occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, he? morrhage follows, and, in fact, they clog the uction of tho very organs that caused the cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspopsiu are the causes of two thirds of the cases of Counnmption. Many persons com? plain of a dull pain in the side, consti? pation, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily ou tbo stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of tbo stomach or a torpid liver. Persons no affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, aud if the cough in these cases be suddenly checked, will flud the stomaoh aud liver clogged, remaining torpid und inactive, and al? most before they arc aware, the lungs are a mass of eores aod alcerated, the result of which is death. Schenck's Pulmonio Syrop is an ex? pectorant, which dors not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Schenck's Sea Weed Touio dissolves the food, mixes with the gastiic juices of the stomach, aids digestiou and creates a raveuous appetite. Whon the bowels ure costive, skin sallow or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake Pills ure required. These medicines are prepared only by J. H. Scuenck & Son, N. E corner I Sixth aud Arch streets, Philadelphia, and are for sale by ull druggists and dealers. Oct llfl3 Invisible Poisons ?The Medici* and the Borgias fortified thoir systems with powerful antidotes against the subtle poisons with which they need to destroy their enemies, and which they feared might one day be employed against themselves. Them aro invisi? ble poisons, almost is deadly, against which fow of us think of taking any precaution. These banes are in the air. When the atmosphere is sur? charged with them, as it sometimes is ut this season, epidemio fevers ensue. The summer which has just closed has been a most remarkable one. The ex? halations from tho soil have been, and are, dense and copious almost beyond example. These exhalations cxerciso u pernicious influence on tho vital powers, and predispose the system to disease. Everywhere people ore com pluiuing of nuusunl debility, lassitude and depression. These symptoms are generally forerunners of au epidemic. Combat them early?before they lapse into Bomothiug worse?with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tho most effective antidote to malaria that the vegetable kingdom has over yielded. Its opera? tion it three-fold?invigorating, depu rative and uuti-bilious. Free from any ingredient that is in the slightest de? gree deleterious to health, and contain? ing the juices and extracts of the rarest medicinal herbs, it is immeasura? bly superior, as a defensive prepara? tion, to any oilier tonic, herbal or mineral, at present used iu medical practice. A course of Hostottcr's Bit tors is, humanely speaking, a perfect safeguard against intermittent and re? mittent fevers, oiifin Charleston to the Front.?Anisng our new advertisements, is that of one of tho oldest establishments iu this State. Established in 1832, it has maintained the first plaoo in its line of business. With largo expeiicnco and nuHurpasHod facilities, Messrs.

Stewart, they be liovo in newspaper advertising, and tuko this means to announce that they have, this season, added very largely to their stock of type aud machinery, and aro better prepared than ever to pleaso thoir customers. Wo wish them every success. Sif Hundreds of wild pigeous were killed around Winnsboro last week.
